my kids gobbled these up!
feeling adventurous? feel free to change the toppings of your pizza bites to your liking!
Ingredients:
- 1 large or 2 small sweet potatoes
- 1-2 Teaspoons olive oil or avocado oil
- 5 Tablespoons marinara or pizza sauce
- 1 cup grated, packed mozzarella, weighing 2-3 ounces (I used whole milk mozzarella.)
- 15 slices of pepperoni, about 2 ounces (I used this brand and quartered the slices.)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 450ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and trim the sweet potatoes, and cut them into ½ inch slices. You should have about 15 slices.
- Brush the top of the sweet potato slices with oil (next time I'll try garlic infused) and place them on the lined baking sheet. Bake for 6-8 minutes or until the bottoms have browned and the sweet potato slices are almost tender.
- Remove them from the oven and flip them over so the browned side is facing up. (Mine weren't browned, but I did a "fork" test on one of the slices and it was almost tender.) Top each slice with about 1 teaspoon of marinara/pizza sauce. Sprinkle the grated mozzarella evenly over the top of each sweet potato slice, and top with one slice of pepperoni each.
- Place the sweet potato slices back in the oven, and bake until the cheese is molten and the edges are crispy, about 5-8 minutes.
- Serve immediately!
Notes:
You can cook the sweet potato slices to the halfway point and store them in the fridge if you want to plan ahead for a party.
